<h3 class="sectionedit2" id="european_inland_waters_ecdis_ais">European Inland Waters ECDIS &amp; AIS</h3>
<div class="level3">

<p>
For the <em class="u">inland</em> waters of Europe there are some special regulations in force. Vessels over 20m in length should have an Inland AIS and an inland ECDIS. (Since Jan 2017 compulsory in Germany, with the rest of europe to follow). OpenCPN from version 4.6 and higher has a special mode to comply with the rules for Inland ECDIS version 2.3 in information mode.
</p>

<p>
Under <em>Options &gt; User Interface</em> there is a checkbox  <em>Use settings for Inland ECDIS</em>. When checked OpenCPN will:
</p>
<ul>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> Startup in &#039;Dusk&#039; mode. <span style='font-family: inherit; font-size:10px; color: inherit;  background-color: inherit '>(To prevent blinding if startup at night)</span></div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> Startup with the &#039;Standard&#039; layers visible.</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> Hide several toolbar buttons that are of no use for inland waters and charts. Toolbar can still be changed, but changes are not saved. At startup the same minimum toolbar will be shown.</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> An extra toolbar with buttons for switching layers and pre defined zoom levels will popup.</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> AIS targets that have no compass connected for heading information will be shown as octogram.</div>
</li>
<li class="level1"><div class="li"> The blue-paddle for starboard to starboard meetings has now the compulsory form. (a blue square with white border) If the blue-paddle information is available but the paddle is not set only a white line is drawn.</div>
</li>
</ul>

<p>
Remember that you only comply with regulations if OpenCPN is in <strong>inlandECDIS mode</strong>, using the most recent inland ENC charts, no other programs are running on the computer and the computer screen is readable from the cunning position.

Note that if your User Interface is acting unexpectedly, not saving settings, and opening in night mode, this checkbox may have been selected inadvertently.
